LLPC3 [FBbt_00052854]

Lobula-lobula plate columnar neuron with its lobula plate arborization mainly in layer 4, spanning around 10-15 columns (Shinomiya et al., 2022; Nern et al., 2025). Its lobula postsynapses are mainly found in around 5-10 columns of layer 4 (Nern et al., 2025). It remains ipsilateral and sends output to the posterior lateral protocerebrum (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). It is predicted to be cholinergic (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are around 100-120 of these cells on each side (Nern et al., 2025).
